*** Updated January 2024) *** Ada (ADA) is a native cryptocurrency that runs on Cardano, a third- generation, decentralized public blockchain that aims to protect user privacy, while remaining flexible for regulation. Cardano is spearheaded by Charles Hoskinson who began in crypto with his course Bitcoin or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Crypto. He subsequently went on to be a co-founder of BitShares and Ethereum before co-founding Cardano in 2015. Cardano is named after Gerolamo Cardano, an influential mathematician in the Renaissance. The platform aims to solve three issues with traditional cryptocurrencies: Sustainability, Scalability & Interoperability. This book is mainly for Cardano newcomers. It does not go deep into the weeds of the technical research papers, nor explore concepts in great detail. The goal is to give a broad overview of Cardano with explainers from Everipedia and Charles Hoskinson quotes where relevant. "This is a super-impressive piece of work on #Cardano from John Greene. Congratulations. And thank you. Every self-respecting kindle (or bookshelf) needs to sport one this summer" - Tim Harrison, IOG VP Community & Ecosystem Communications "This is the Bible of Cardano" - Kristian Portz, NMKR COO "I love this book and you will too!" - Jason Appleton (Crypto Crow) "Thanks for making my dreams available to the masses" - Charles Hoskinson, IOG CEO & Founder For more details, see www.CardanoBook.com
